However after a week (when there was almost no pain from walking), I did a really slow run, and it didn't feel right. I had a minor calf injury years before and tried to race with it the following week which caused a major calf strain (never got it diagnosed). I'm not so stupid now that I'll try to race but I'm probably being stupid to try to run through it. We've had perfect weather and I feel I'm losing so much progress. I'm wearing a compression band and looking to buy a deep muscle massager, but I don't know what to do. Some days I feel I'm babying it because of my former experience; other days I feel like I'm on the road to re-injury. This all happened after a year of no injuries and right when I started looking for marathon training plans.

Re: OFFICIAL Eat Right & Get Fit Challenge
I am below 250 on the home scale. 25.8 total pounds lost since mid february last year. Still increasing veggies and eating smaller lunch portions. Taking off more nights drinking, too. I'd be fairly pleased if I could get into the mid 230s and stay there. I will say that after I shaved to just a goatee, I can really tell the weight loss in my face and others do too. I looked like a zombie on a zoom call the first time after shaving.
I still have a gut, but it's definitely smaller. I also bought 36 in waist jeans for the first time in probably 20 years.

I've started doing Barre3 online classes, just to break up the monotony of the day. Not sure how much of a 'workout' they really are, but they are helping with flexibility.

Re: OFFICIAL Eat Right & Get Fit Challenge
Ended up not doing the colonoscopy due to poor insurance planning, but did go back for a three-month checkup after having crazy high cholesterol in January. After taking meds, cutting down on red meat to ~2-3 servings a week, replacing most beer with either bourbon/seltzer, and having at least a 50-minute walk every morning, I've made huge strides losing about 20 pounds overall. The results came in the mail today and my total cholesterol decreased from 316 to 168. Triglycerides from 395 to 134. The bad cholesterol is now 80 and the good increased as well. This is really the first time I've tried something like this and it has stuck. And no grapefruit-induced side effects thanks to this board. I'm fucking pumped!

Re: OFFICIAL Eat Right & Get Fit Challenge
I mentioned that since we put in a proper home gym, I've been lifting more regularly than I have in a long time. The flip side is I'm fucking old now, so putting on muscle is hard, but I've been steadily progressing.
Well, this morning, I was doing my bench - 4 sets of 5 reps at 190. I was pretty happy to get up to 190, but I've relatively plateaued there, not moving up after 2-3 weeks of that like previous weights. Anyway, I did the first set and the first rep felt heavy and then I barely finished the second. I was pretty pissed at my regression until I realized I'd put 35s on the bar instead of 25s, so I was actually doing 210, not 190. That's a new bench PR for me! Granted, I probably haven't tried a one-rep max in 25 years, but still the most I'd ever done before was 200.
I'm hoping to get to two plates this summer.

Re: OFFICIAL Eat Right & Get Fit Challenge
Looks like I'll be hanging out here now.
My diet wasn't all that bad, but it's now going to have to get a lot better. I eat enough veggies, love fish, don't eat much red meat, not crazy about fruit, and am going to have to cut down on salt. Cheese, mayo, deli meats and peanut butter are all in the rear view mirror.
In the past, my cholesterol levels were between "Normal" and "high normal." Never a cause for alarm. ETA: Just realized the irony in that statement
I've been put on Crestor for at least the next 9-12 months. This will "melt" the plaque that is causing a 60% blockage in one of the un-stented arteries.

Re: OFFICIAL Eat Right & Get Fit Challenge
Ran 12+ miles this morning. 9:10ish per pace which is quicker than I normally go in the AM, especially starting out that early (before 7).
Felt pretty good but as soon as I stopped I got light-headed and had to wait a second before I could remember the door code. Made it inside and got some water and was fine.

Re: OFFICIAL Eat Right & Get Fit Challenge
Jesus, you fuckers are fast. I just started adding a regular run day to my routine - lift two days and run on my off day. I'm still not able to finish my ~2.5 mile loop without walking a bit in the middle. And even then, the parts that I do run fully are around 10 min pace (except the last part which is mostly downhill). I never was a good distance runner. I was fast up to 400 meters, but fell off a cliff after that.

Re: OFFICIAL Eat Right & Get Fit Challenge
Shirley, don't beat yourself up over pacing. First off, if you're running with a group, you'll get faster times mainly due to everyone's subconscious competitive streaks kicking in. For me, the consistently best mile times have always been timed races, and some of my best mile times were longer races like the Philly Ten-Miler (the biggest 10-mile run in the country as it's completely downhill the entire course). Also, depending on what you're listening to will change your pace. My daily runs starts with me listening to old podcasts, but switching over to music, primarily hip-hop, shows up in my running app as faster times.Shirley wrote: ↑Sat May 15, 2021 10:47 pmJesus, you fuckers are fast.

Since I'm now 2nd shot + more than 2 weeks, I'm going to start going back to the gym for weights again. I'm thinking 2 upper body days and 1 lower body day per week, and occasionally flip it. Can anyone recommend a good weight training app? Best use to track sets and suggest numbers?

Re: OFFICIAL Eat Right & Get Fit Challenge
if you want to lift "heavy" I'd suggest 5-3-1
boring but big is the way to go with it. you can get your work and accessory sets done for that exercise in 30-40 min easy, especially on lower body days.
boring but big is doing 5x10 accessory work, so for example if you're doing a squat and deadlift variation for your lower body lifts in your third week you'd do for your squat day
squat
set of 5
set of 3
set of 1+ as many as you can do "comfortably" pushing yourself
3-5 singles with that 1+ weight (I like this as some extra work)
deadlift
5x10 @ ~ 50% of your max
throw in 3-4 sets of a good ab exercise and you'll feel pretty tired

Re: OFFICIAL Eat Right & Get Fit Challenge
I've been doing this one in my home gym for a few months and have really liked it. https://www.muscleandstrength.com/worko ... split.html
The general idea is you do one exercise per day for power (4x5), a couple for muscle (2-3 x 12) and one for burn (1-2 x 40). I have a spreadsheet with it all in there so I can keep track of my weights and watch my progress.

Re: OFFICIAL Eat Right & Get Fit Challenge
Yeah, I've liked it, but I am about due for something new. I used to do Shortcut to Size (or maybe Strength), but that one requires a spotter for a lot of things and also has a lot of pulley exercises which I don't have.Brontoburglar wrote: ↑Tue May 18, 2021 11:32 am i've done a variation of that principle and have been debating going back to it after I get sick of 5/3/1 in a few months. it's enjoyable. and leads to some fun soreness
I don't want to do too much of the 5-3-1 type stuff because - again, usually no spotter, and I also don't want to risk fucking up my back on a deadlift or squat.

Re: OFFICIAL Eat Right & Get Fit Challenge
my usual lack of a spotter is exactly why I like 5-3-1. the formula makes the weights low enough that you're not one-rep maxing for a loooong time and you're advised to shut it off before you ride the strugglebus on a rep. I'd much rather get 3-5 good reps in later as singles or doubles than by trying to get 7 instead of 6 reps on my last set because I pushed it too farShirley wrote: ↑Tue May 18, 2021 11:43 amI don't want to do too much of the 5-3-1 type stuff because - again, usually no spotter, and I also don't want to risk fucking up my back on a deadlift or squat.Brontoburglar wrote: ↑Tue May 18, 2021 11:32 am i've done a variation of that principle and have been debating going back to it after I get sick of 5/3/1 in a few months. it's enjoyable. and leads to some fun soreness
